He was lucky he got that many. Still favourites, just. I'd be inclined to bowl these two for 14 overs or so. wickets are obviously the key.

A glimpse into what hazlewood and starc will do to roy if he plays in the ashes

[alfie]

No surprise to see Roy gone...was never looking right today and lucky to get 17 more than he should have. Game on.

NZ bowling as well as you'd expect ...they won't go down without a fight.

Roy gone, and that was inevitable. Never looked comfortable.

I'm nervous as hell now.

Another wicket right now would even the game up again.

Moving about all over the place. Henry is getting it right in the slot - bowling nice and full.

It's the seam that's the problem. Every few balls one will bite and just straighten.

Only an English groundsman would prepare a pitch like this with our batting line up

England currently 1 to 4

Way too short imo...

Sounds about right with 200 from 41 overs with 9 wickets left to get.

Englands got this, why are all you guys worried. Everything falling into place for England, the stars have aligned. Enjoy this

[Arthur Crabtree]

So when the ball gets soft, it'll become harder to score when NZ take the pace off on a slow pitch. So should England be cutting loose now while the ball is new?

Very much not the English way...

[Gingerfinch]

Blimey, that was a bad drop. Has he just dropped the world cup!
